Pretty sure it's Gafti. The Vine says he is the closest genetic match to Aric (so another Visigoth) and he seems to know Aric and begins to say something like, "What do you want with Aric?" That leads me to believe it is him.

Avagis would be the closest genetic match as his first cousin. XO #7 states Alaric is the father of Avagis.

Was Avagis running around on the Vine ship as a human slave?

That would be the only way. The person seems to recognize/know Aric. Since Avagis was taken as an infant, unless they had interaction on the ship there is no way he would know who Aric was.

It would probably be better if I looked at the preview before commenting, but I hate reading early pages.

I can't see many other options besides it being Gafti. He's the only one that fits all the criteria.

1. Near genetic match
2. Was a slave on Ship with Aric
3. Knows Aric by name

If it is Gafti, then they just have to explain how he's not dead by:

1. The laser blast shot he was dying from when Aric talked to him, or
2. The grenade that went off right by him which convinced Aric that all his compatriots were dead, or
3. Being caught in the explosion of the tow grenades/mines that were stuck to Aric, or
4. Being sucked into space out of the breach in the hull that was created by #3

Unless the Vine have some means of reanimation that we haven't seen as of yet, we'll have to see when the issue finally hits the stands I guess.

As an aside, it's funny seeing the parallels of Gafti (or whomever it is) hooked up by the Vine and how similar it looks to how Keuratich had Bloodshot hooked up in issue #1 when they were downloading his memories. They all just love stuffing tubes and wires into peoples brains!!
